Heh heh, 'hats off to you' for the nice capture! (Oh c'mon, someone was gonna use it. It might as well be me)
What hats? I like it. The soft focus of the edges give it a somewhat lensbaby feel to it and makes me feel as though I'm stepping into his dreams if that makes sense. Neat shot.
Whew! I thought that it was just me! I really like the shot except for all the warping. That actually didn't help my headache much at all.
